Providing Information and Making Initial Course Selections: Each spring, the guidance counselor arranges information sessions with students in grades 10 and 11, meeting with the students by grade. At this meeting, information pertinent to the upcoming grade is distributed and explained. Students are asked to take home a Course Selection Guide to discuss with their parents/guardians. This guide includes such things as graduation requirements, course descriptions, pre-requisites, and co-requisites. Students are required to complete and submit their course selection forms for the following year by a specified date. Students and parents/guardians are expected to sign this form. 2. Verifying Course Selections: The guidance counselor then reviews each of the course selection forms to ensure that compulsory requirements have been met and to check any pre-requisites or co-requisites. Any issues with course selection forms are discussed with students on an individual basis.3. Developing Individual Student Timetables: After the master timetable is finalized, with the courses available shown by period within each semester, the student’s individual schedule is created using his or her previously submitted course selection form. No GuaranteesGrade 10 and 11 students’ initial course selections completed each spring, help generate the master timetable. At this point, it is possible that an elective course might be withdrawn from the course offering list due to insufficient interest.Making ChangesStudents need to choose courses very carefully. After the master timetable is complete, it might be very difficult to make a change to an individual’s timetable. Remember, the master timetable is created based on the selections students make the first time.It is important to choose an “alternate” course when making course selections. This provides options for students if there is a conflict and will assist students in getting a full timetable much faster.When selecting courses, please ensure that pre-requisites have been completed. Once registered for a course, a commitment to regular attendance and course work completion is expected.Graduation RequirementsStudents must meet the requirements of the prescribed common curriculum of the Grade 9/10 program.
